I do not own Naruto.
I wrote this a while ago, posted on LJ. Decided to put it here, since I've been neglicting FF dot net.
This was my first KakaObiRin. -sigh- The beginnings of a monster obsession.
APPLES WITH WINGS
challenge: Bad Guys, Chinese Food, Children, Motivations, and Tissues
The three of them are lying together on the field, the sky gray and miserable above them. Rin frowns up at it, Obito's looking anywhere but up, and Kakashi is pretending to be sleep.
"Mom kicked me out of the house again today," Rin mentions airily, as if it's not very important, but worth the mention. Both males look over at her, concerned looks reflected on both their faces. Their expressions say What for this time, and Rin knows without even having to look at them. "I don't think she wanted me to see her drunk. Honda broke up with her, apparently."
Obito and Kakashi know better than probably anyone else in the village about Rin's home life. Even her closest flaky female friends only know intimations of what her mother's like. There is nothing to know of Rin's father, since he'd been a asshole from the Country of the Wave, and Rin had never even met him.
Obito is constantly checking for signs of Rin taking on any of the negative aspects of her mother—promiscuity, alcoholism, nicotine addiction, and horrible hygiene, but of course, Rin knows better than that.
